A plea or verdict of guilty or a conviction following a plea of nolo contendere
made to a charge substantially related to the qualifications, functions

been affirmed on appeal or when an order granting probation is made suspending
the imposition of sentence, irrespective of a subsequent order under the
provisions of Section 1203.4 of the Penal Code allowing such person to
withdraw his or her plea of guilty and to enter a plea of not guilty,
or setting aside the verdict of guilty, or dismissing the accusation,
